What’s new in this version:

Cubase Pro 14
Improvements and changes:
Performance:
– We have updated key data structures in our codebase to optimize memory allocation. This has a positive impact on overall performance, especially in areas where large amounts of data are processed, such as startup times, loading and saving large projects, and moving a significant number of events simultaneously.
– Single installer for Pro, Artist, Elements, AI and LE.
– All versions of Cubase are now available through one installer. Whether you install Cubase Elements or Cubase Pro, the same installer is used, and the version that opens is determined solely by your license. Upgrading Elements to Cubase Pro no longer requires a reinstallation.

New score editor based on Dorico technology:
– Cubase 14 introduces a completely redesigned score editor powered by Dorico, our renowned notation and composition software. This new score editor, powered by Dorico, replaces the previous version with numerous improvements and a refined focus.
– The new score editor is a powerful and intuitive note-based MIDI editor. It allows you to quickly and easily view and edit music in notated form, creating clear, legible pieces ideal for simple live recording projects.
– You can now export your Cubase projects directly to Dorico, allowing you to take advantage of Dorico’s advanced music formatting and layout features when needed.
– Using Dorico’s sophisticated quantization and transcription algorithms, the new score editor automatically separates music into independent polyphonic voices and applies publishing-quality musical spacing and layout algorithms, resulting in more beautiful and readable notation on both screen and paper.
– Although the new score editor includes some of Dorico’s features, it is designed to look and operate in line with other MIDI editors in Cubase. This ensures a seamless experience whether you are familiar with Dorico or not.
– If you found the previous version of the Score Editor difficult to get legible results, we encourage you to try the new version. This significantly reduces the time and effort required to achieve professional-looking signage.

However, there are some limitations that you should be aware of:
— MusicXML import is not yet supported, but will be implemented in the future.
– Some score symbols, such as arpeggio, glissandi, or octave lines, are not yet available.
– Because the technology behind the new Score Editor is completely new, importing scores from projects created with the previous version of the Score Editor is only partially possible. We have created a Steinberg help article that details the limitations.
– Cubase 14 marks the beginning of a new era in integrating our flagship DAW with our notation software. We are committed to expanding the functionality of the new score editor and developing additional features to further integrate Cubase and Dorico in future updates.

DAW project support:
– We are pleased to introduce support for DAWproject files in Cubase 14. DAWproject is an open file format that enables seamless transfer of projects between DAWs, offering users greater flexibility and efficiency. This format allows you to transfer entire projects while maintaining the full structure – tracks, channels and groups, eliminating the need to export individual stems and reducing time and effort.
– When importing a DAW project file into another DAW, all elements remain intact, including tracks, groups, colors, markers, events, fades, MIDI, and plugin settings. This makes it easier to collaborate, eases the transition between music programs, and puts more emphasis on creativity rather than technical tasks.
– We have worked closely with the Bitwig team to integrate DAWproject support into Cubase, and we are very excited about the benefits this will bring to customers working with multiple DAWs. While automation and crossfades are not fully supported in this initial version of Cubase 14, we plan to expand these features in future maintenance updates.

Project compatibility:
– Cubase 14 introduces two major changes that affect compatibility with older versions of Cubase. This means that not all previous versions will be able to open projects created in Cubase 14. However, this will not affect the backward compatibility of Cubase 14 – you can still open projects from Cubase 14 previous versions in Cubase 14.
– Due to a complete overhaul of Event Volume Curve technology, Cubase 14 projects have limited compatibility with versions prior to Cubase 13.0.50. Event volume curves created in Cubase 14 can only be reproduced correctly in Cubase 13.0.50 or later. In earlier versions, these curves displayed incorrect volume levels.

This applies to:
– Cubase 14 projects
– Tracks from Cubase 14 projects
– Cubase archives 14 tracks with event volume curves
– Older version event volume curves remain compatible with Cubase 14. Versions 13.0.50 and later include a converter to ensure Cubase 14 event volumes are reproduced correctly. Additionally, a new option has been added to the Export Track Archive (export selected tracks) feature compatibility to support earlier versions.
– Cubase 14 also introduces a 64-bit project file format, allowing you to create project files larger than 2 GB. This improvement addresses limitations encountered when working with audio extensions and some third-party tools that store data directly in project files. Projects saved in Cubase 14 will default to this 64-bit “RIF2” format, compatible only with Cubase and Nuendo versions 13.0.30 or later. Projects saved in the old 32-bit format will remain in that format unless certain conditions are met, as detailed in the Help Center article.

End of support for VST 2 compatibility:
– As previously announced, Cubase 14 marks the end of official support for VST 2 plugin compatibility. By default, VST 2 plugin scanning is disabled in the VST Plugin Manager, only the VST 3 plugin folder is scanned.
– VST 2 plugins can still be loaded (except Apple Silicon built-in) if the VST 2 plugin scanner is manually enabled in the VST Plugin Manager. However, Steinberg will no longer provide support for any issues related to VST 2.

Cubase Pro 13
– The update brings many fixes and improvements to several areas of the application. Improvements to the user interface are immediately noticeable. We carefully analyzed user feedback after release and made several improvements, mainly to the MixConsole and the Project window. Another major improvement is the change to the project file format, which now allows file sizes larger than 2 GB.

Cubase Pro 12
Cubase 12 introduces significant new features and workflow enhancements that make composing, recording, and mixing music even more creatively rewarding. From improved MIDI Remote integration and improved editing tools to improved audio to MIDI conversion and new effects, Cubase 12 brings your creative ideas to life better and faster than ever.

Cubase Pro 11
– Cubase returns with this major release, including all three editions: Pro, Artist and Elements. Cubase 11 boasts a wealth of new features and enhancements to studio-grade audio and MIDI tools for composing, recording, editing and mixing.
– Editions of Cubase 11 are available from resellers and the Steinberg online store. Various downloadable updates and upgrades, cross-versions and educational versions are available exclusively through the Steinberg online store and on the Steinberg website.
– Customers who activated Cubase Pro 10.5, Cubase Artist 10.5 and Cubase Elements 10.5 or earlier versions on or before October 14, 2020 are eligible for a free grace period downloadable upgrade to the latest version respectively.
